Today, March 31st, is World Backup Day, which grew from a grassroots Reddit movement to help bring awareness to importance of backing up important digital files. Take some time today to revamp your backup strategy, double check existing backups, or start backing up if you aren’t already. Here are two deals that should help you with that: Read more

The Aukey external battery can hold 1 full charge for most phones and tablets. So you get another 8 hours of talk time. It also received 4.7/5 stars and is the #1 new release item in its category at Amazon.

This model (MD711LL/B) originally sold for $899 until Apple released a slightly updated model earlier this month. It has more than enough juice to power through everyday computing needs like web browsing, word processing, Netflix streaming, and more. This is a great laptop for casual users or as a secondary travel machine for power users.

The OontZ features 2 precision neodymium speaker drivers, designed by Cambridge SoundWorks to deliver clear sound and eliminate distortion. It has a stylish design and it’s ultra-light weight at only 9 ounces. You can have up to 12 hours of playtime from a single charge of the rechargeable battery. This is a quality speaker from a renowned speaker company priced lower than a lot of Chinese knockoffs.

Over 2,500 Amazon customers gave it a 4.3/5 star rating and 9to5Mac called it “a no-brainer, with its great sound and 10- hour battery.”

These are the redesigned version 2.0 Tour Beats with removable wingtips, a built-in mic, tangle-free cables, and a soft carry pouch. This set has received a 3.7/5 star rating from over 200 Amazon customers.

Target offers The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies 2-disc pack for $13 with free shipping on orders of at least $25 and for all REDcard holders. This pack includes a copy of the movie in Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD. Less than a week after this movie first released on home video, this deal is a savings of 48% off the list price of $24.99. If you don’t meet the order requirements to qualify for free shipping, then you should opt for free in-store pickup.

This week only, Amazon has discounted the Best of Warner Bros 20 Film Collection on DVD down to $41.99 with free shipping. As a pricing comparison, it frequently bounces between $50 and $75 and has never been priced this low before. At the current sale price your cost per film is just over $2, which is impressive since these are classics: Casablanca, Gone with The Wind, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Million Dollar Baby, The Departed, and more. Also includes a 24-pack booklet.

Anyone who knows me (or follows me), knows that I’ve got a bit of an amiibo problem. I started out just looking to get Donkey and Diddy Kong since they are my favorite Nintendo characters. Then I got sucked into the amiibo vortex. Now, amiibo figures are peppered throughout my office. Sure I love how each figure can unlock exclusive in-game content, but I’ve got to admit the real draw for me is just how cool they look.

Console bundles put together by retailers are often a mixed bag. Most of the time they include one great item along with a bunch of random things you’d never buy otherwise (I’m looking at you GameStop), but sometimes they are actually packed with quality items at a discount. Those are the bundles we target. We saw Walmart step up this week with a great New Nintendo 3DS XL bundle and now Amazon is offering a quality PlayStation 4 bundle…

This bundle includes a 500GB PlayStation 4 console, a physical (disc) copy of Bloodborne, a digital copy of The Last of Us, and a $20 gift card for just $399.99 shipped. The Last of Us is often included with a PS4 console so we won’t include that in the bundle value, but the console itself sells for $400, Bloodborne is worth $60, and the gift card is, of course, worth $20. So you’re saving $80 or you could look at it as getting a free copy of Bloodborne and a free $20 to spend at Amazon. Either way, it’s a great value.
